Scoping review of knowledge, attitudes, and practices to zoonotic diseases among abattoir workers and residents in proximity to abattoirs in low-middle income countries.
Article in PLoS neglected tropical diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundZoonotic diseases pose a significant public health threat in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This scoping review aimed to map the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of abattoir workers and residents living near abattoirs regarding zoonotic diseases in LMICs. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL
findingsA comprehensive search was conducted in SCOPUS, PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar for articles published between 2010 and 2023. Studies were included if they were conducted in LMICs, published in English, and focused on the KAP of zoonotic diseases among abattoir workers or nearby residents. Data extraction was conducted using a double-blind approach, and discrepancies were resolved by consensus. Of the 4,276 articles screened, 16 met the inclusion criteria. The studies were conducted in nine LMICs, with Nigeria (6; 38%) and Ethiopia (3; 19%) accounting for the highest number. Most studies reported on knowledge (10; 63%) and practices (12; 75%), while 4 (25%) addressed attitudes. Abattoir workers showed varied knowledge of zoonotic diseases, but substantial gaps in preventive practices were observed. Notably, no studies examined the KAP of residents living near abattoirs. CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This review underscores the need for targeted interventions to improve KAP among abattoir workers and to expand research to include nearby residents. A conceptual framework was developed to identify factors influencing KAP and guide future research, education, and policy development for zoonotic disease prevention in LMICs.
